Our Recent Immigration Success Stories

At Bellissimo Immigration Law Group PC, we are privileged to work on behalf of many wonderful people, companies and associations. We represent immigration applicants from far outside Canada, from the time they step foot into the country’s airport waiting rooms all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Our immigration clients often tell us after their case is concluded that it would have helped to know of similar stories that are real and not just what you hear on the street. So every month, we post a few stories to celebrate our immigration success stories and offer some comfort to those who will soon embark on a similar journey…

SponsorshipComplex Spousal Sponsorship Appeal Approved!

We were thrilled to receive a positive result on a complex spousal sponsorship appeal involving a long immigration history. In this case, the strength of the evidence made all the difference. With extensive documentation filed to explain the Applicant’s complicated past and corroborate the genuine nature of this relationship, the Minister consented to allowing the appeal. We could not be happier for this couple and their two young daughters!

Comprehensive Mitigation Plan Addressing the Use of Medical/Social Services Secures PR

We are pleased to advise that after many years of advocating on behalf of our clients, we were successful in assisting a dependent family member first restore temporary valid legal status, and then shortly thereafter secure permanent residence. The dependent family member had an intellectual disability, and following preparation and submission of a comprehensive Mitigation Plan addressing the use of both medical and social services in Canada, permanent residence was granted.

A young man was recently refused a work permit extension application and retained our office to assist with having the decision re-opened. We contacted the immigration case review office, at which time extensive submissions were made. The application was successfully re-opened and his work permit was recently approved and issued. Our client is now preparing his permanent residence application.

Medical Officer Withdraws Inadmissibility Finding for Applicant on Immigration Appeal

We were recently successful in representing a family in seeking to overcome a medical inadmissibility finding for an elderly applicant on an immigration appeal. The time that is required to await a hearing date with the Immigration and Refugee Board is routinely quite lengthy. As such, we worked together with the Sponsor, providing guidance in securing necessary medical records and made submissions to the Minister’s Counsel while awaiting a hearing, seeking an early resolution, in order to have the Medical Officer review their refusal. Following submissions, the Medical Officer withdrew their original admissibility finding, overturned the refusal, and is presently processing the permanent residence application to completion. The family will soon be reunited in Canada after having begun the process nearly 10 years ago.
